"Always" is a top notched, well produced example of smooth jazz. Although it has a couple of slow moments (not many), the opening four songs come through with a bang. "The Way To You" (song #2) is probably one of the best smooth jazz songs ever released. Surprisingly, I also liked his "fluty" songs, particularly "The Mystery of Hearts". This CD embodies Nelson Rangell's unique range of style. Excellent from beginning to end, if you are a smooth jazz fan, then you need to have this CD in your collection.
